Because a) he's probably done enough to get himself a real contract at a high enough price that the Raps won't want to match for the 5th wing option and b) you could probably get a late first round pick from the right playoff contender for him.

Might as well in my opinion, but I'd agree that BC is probably thinking more short term than long term now and he'd probably want Anderson around for a playoff push.

But yeah, saddens me that Ross is probably going to get buried on the bench now until Anderson is gone.

If Bryan can get a first round pick for AA then that would be amazing. I doubt it will happen though. Bryan is too nice and will probably just waive him (like he did Carter/Butler last year) so that he can play for a contender.

Steep price tag, but I'm on board. I'm going to miss the hell out of Davis and I can't really say anything bad about Calderon, he's been a great competitor and teammate on this team for years. I hope they both have great success.

All that said, the team just got a solid shot of talent, a go-to wing scorer and cleared up any PG controversy there might be.

It's hilarious to me that Jose is the guy of all players to ever play here who ends up netting us one of the most talented players to be a soon-raptor.

Jose Calderon quoted as saying:
"'It's been my home for eight years,'' Calderon said in Atlanta, shortly before leaving the arena. ''I've done everything possible for this team. It's tough. The fans have been with me since Day 1. It's tough.''
''Hopefully this team is back to the playoffs as soon as possible,'' Calderon said.

Love you Jose!!
